Idk I think it could also be very lonely. Asymmetrical development can be a crapshoot in many ways. Also British voice automatically raises perceived IQ by like 30 pts.

@LordFall I agree that it can possibly be extremely dangerous to experiment with your health. But even regular intermittent fasting has reached mainstream level of credibility and is considered borderline miraculous for longevity and health. If you were doing intermittent fasting 15 years ago, people would definitely think you might be developing anorexia. Overton window yada-yada. (Also I did hear about dry fasting in the past but none of this 20 day stuff... That is pretty insane to me tbh. I would definitely not try this. Maybe 3-5 days is within my comfort zone)

I mean he could just put it into AI and get the gist. That's the value of AI nowadays. I will watch it tomorrow while I'm on a several hour long drive. I've done like 24 hours of dry fast but not much longer than that.

Doesn't sound super hard tbh. Actually way smarter and socially safer than cold approaching half the campus. Harder to cold approach and hit on girls directly than invite them to some campus event. This is what I would've done if I had a sales and marketing background like I do now. But back then my mind was so myopic because all I did was watch pickup content. There's more plausible deniability by inviting to events and infinitely higher social proof.

@trenton @Carl-Richard Also the J vs P type in mbti pertains to a certain discomfort with ambiguity. P types feel comfortable without needing a final answer whereas J types need the final solution or to arrive at something - certainty vs. openness. Absorbing data vs. finding a solution. I've seen charts that show INTP is the most intelligent followed by INTJ. I think that IQ tests do in a sense reward fast thinking that reaches a conclusion but there are people that process more data but don't necessarily filter well. There's tradeoffs to each style. INTPs I subjectively consider more intelligent because they don't close themselves off to information and better with ambiguity and cognitive dissonance. INTJs better for execution.

@Leo Gura I don't doubt any of this. A guy like Ben Shapiro can have a 150 IQ and if anything all that thinking obstructs his ability to see clearly like a sage would.

@Sandroew Math is not that hard especially Calculus. People get lost in the crazy long equations which makes it seem more nebulous than it is conceptually.

I feel like for the most part I take things less seriously and just try to enjoy the ride, the steps along the way. Much more gratitude.

It's an impressive feat from a production standpoint. But in terms of psychological depth and original storyline there is not much there. Prints money though…

Meh they were literally like 15 minutes away from a chance at winning it in penalties. Quite miraculously that it took that long for Spain to score but Messi was 15 minutes and a penalty shootout away from another World Cup trophy.

I feel like when you are not respected any real intimacy or trust is not possible. Because your perspective is basically invalidated. Love is much more nebulous and complicated. Especially with human ego, attachments an so on and so forth. It is very easy to detect the presence or absence of respect.

I was a salesman. Did door to door and call center. Yes and it went against my nature and I did abysmally doing d2d sales. It was eating me alive. You do have to be a cold blooded sob to be a high level salesman. I loved to interact, joke around, and have fun, be playful with strangers, but when it came to actually making sales for products it felt very transactional and fake. So yes doing cold approach and cold sales helped get over those fears and is an invaluable skill.

@glassfire Achieving samadhi during meditation and relasing tension during breathwork makes you very aware of physical tensions throughout the body-mind system.

@LordFall Dude the reason I always struggled with IG is because I have a small circle and even the people in that circle are fairly reserved so they may not even leave a like. I know that not everyone is like that so its just a matter of meeting more people but in that in-between period where you are building up is it fine to do the fake it till you make it approach or just own that you are in a sense a relatively unpopular individual? Believe it or not I've done years of sales but I mean it's not difficult to chat up strangers you don't know. There is not really a concern of social reputation in cold outreach similar to cold approach.

This one didn’t click for me until just now… very good example!
